Less than three weeks after my Civil War horror novel A Fine Likeness was released, I just got my first review! It's on Amazon UK and it's four stars. The review is short but sweet.
"Intriguing and chilling"
"An assured debut novel which clearly shows the author's grasp of the period, without ever getting bogged down in period detail. The characters are well drawn and morally murky, and the sense of unease builds throughout the story. A good read."
I don't know E.L. Woodcock but she recently became a fan of my Facebook page. I really need to buy her a beer sometime.
Hopefully more reviews will be coming soon. Two bloggers have already promised to review my book. Stay tuned. . .
Home to author Sean McLachlan and the House Divided series of Civil War horror novels. A Fine Likeness, the first in the series, is available now. This blog is dedicated to the Trans-Mississippi Civil War and historical fiction, and occasionally veers off into adventure travel when I go somewhere interesting.
Looking for more from Sean McLachlan? He also hangs out on the Midlist Writer blog, where he talks about writing, adventure travel, caving, and everything else he gets up to. He also reproduces all the posts from Civil War Horror, so drop on by!
